I had forgotten that I didn’t finish up our visit to Augusta, Georgia! We were there for nearly 3 weeks, and spent most of that time at the Petersburg Campground on Thurmond Lake, just nw of Augusta. It is a lovely campground, with big sites that all have flat yard areas 9 (pea gravel) with […]
Downtown Augusta, Georgia…
Since we were near Augusta, Georgia for 2 1/2 weeks while Vaughn and the bigs volunteered, the other kids and I had some time to check out some of the area. I knew on the night we pulled in that I would love this town – it has both a Costco and an Aldi!!! Seriously […]

Samaritan’s Purse volunteering: Cleaning up in Augusta, GA… ;)
We have been in Augusta, Georgia for a week now. It took us an extra day to find a campground, but we love where we ended up staying, and it has been the perfect place to base camp out of for my Samaritan’s Purse volunteering tribe. Vaughn, Beth, Jake, and Thomas have been going in […]
Andersonville National Historic Site, GA…
This past weekend, we stopped in Georgia to visit a guy that Vaughn had met while we volunteered in Moore, Oklahoma. While we ended up not staying as long in Americus as we had planned (they were moving their son), we did manage to get in an afternoon at the Andersonville National Historic Site, which […]
Chickamauga & Chatanooga National Military Park…
We left Cumberland Gap on a Friday afternoon, headed for Mississippi and a Samaritan’s Purse tornado clean-up. We were going to jet there quickly because clean-ups are worked 7 days a week, but since it was just beginning, they weren’t starting until Monday. Since we had a little bit of extra time, on Saturday we stopped […]

The plan was to visit a nearby National Park on Wednesday, then head south into Florida that same night. Wednesday morning we woke up, […]
